Is this optic the correct height to co-witness with standard ar15 sights?

I'm fairly new the AR platform and both of mine were optic ready w/ no sights. Sorry i couldn't help.

I have mounted mine behind an Aimpoint PRO that was set for co-witnenn on a AR 15. It matched perfect. When behind my EOTech EXPS 3-2 it appeard to set too low, but surprisingly the sight picture was perfect, and centered

Same as standard AR sights? About 1.5" to the very top. Another answer said 1.35" ,possibly?

Yes. You would have to purchase a low rise mount on here but it wouldn't be expensive.I honestly don't see you needing to change it! When you use the proper stance and have the correct cheek weld it should be perfect, this is a standard red dot height. Don't bend your neck and bring your eye to the sight, bring the gun and sight to your eye!

@jjnew It is too tall, and that ticked me off too. Instead of returning it I chose to get a 1" riser for my rear sight aperture to accommodate for idiodic sizing. Hope this helps.

I have it set up on my AR and it has it's short comings. I would prefer the sights to be alittle higher. If you're not running back up iron sights then it works great.

Sorry, I don't have the optic right in front of me at the moment for exact dimensions. This particular mount puts a magnifier at the correct height for the raised EOTech optics like my 517. It is too high for standard height( iron sight co-witness ) optics like a 512. Hope this helps. BTW this is actually a pretty solid mount for the money and has gotten a lot of use on a 5.56 AR.

One 30 mm extra-high mount is what I used on the strikefire on my AR-15. This allowed co-witness with the back-up iron sights. One ring is all that is needed but again if used on an AR15 or AR10 platform you need something taller than a low ring.

It's a magnified optic, so co-witness isn't something that can be done. Hope this helps.

Yep that's what I have it on. F mark is the standard front sight. This will be the right height.

Works great on my S&W; M&P; 15 w/ same plane gas block. dont know exact height but I paired it with UTG Model 4/16 Complete Match-grade Rear Sightand it seems to be a great match. As stated in one of the comments on posting for this sight, rear sight is significantly to the left side when sighting in, not sure why but thats how it is. and the post needs to be pretty far down into the front sight to get the correct position. Love this setup!

True co-witness, if your optic has a riser you may want one for this is well- after owning this one it's great but not with a BUIS installed, wish I woulda spent the extra $50 on the larue

The sight will 1/3 co-witness with the irons depending on what sights you are using. I am currently using gen 2 magpul Mbps sights. The emitter in the sight is located at 5 o'clock and partially blocks the front sight so that you can see the FS post and the left blade. Personally I would buy the sight w/o the hi rise block and invest in a better mount. Daniel Defense makes a absolute co-witness riser that runs around $60 on amazon. Good luck

Cannot say. All these things say they are the perfect height-right alignment yadda yadda, but experience tells me no. The included mount co-witnessed perfectly wiith the Eotech and A2 front sight, but not with the Bushnell trophy TRS 25 and flip ups that I switched to. All of which are supposed to be the same height. If it doesn't work, send it back, but its a great little magnifier non the less.

Depends on your back up iron sights. Diffrent heights require different mounts. My flip up soghts needed the cantilever mount in order for the sight to be cowitness

I have an F-marked front site base and Magpul flip-up rear. With this setup I have no co-witness. I had to order a mid riser to see through it at all.

This is high enough to co-witness. IMO you wouldn't want a scope to be high enough to completely look over the front sight that wouldn't offer a good check weld or shooting position. Your crosshairs will be looking through the front sight post. If you are using 3x and up magnification you most likely will not see the front sight A2 post. If that is a problem change out the A2 for a gas block with folding front sight.
